Lets children participate on their own terms

Being diagnosed with a long-term or chronic illness puts a dent in your everyday life, and cause you to miss school and time with your friends. Often, the isolation can be as bad as the illness itself. AV1 is built to let children take part in school activities on their own terms. The child using AV1 can decide when to connect and disconnect, simply by pressing a button in the app.

Designed for classroom use

AV1 gives children with long term-illness the ability to see, hear and talk to their classmates as if they were there, all through a secure app in their phone or tablet. If the child wishes to answer a question, they can raise their hand by pressing a button in the app and a white light will flash on the robots head. AV1 can be put in whisper mode, so only the kids seated next to it will hear them. And if the child is not feeling up for school, he or she can signalise that they want to be passive listeners, and a blue light will flash on the robot's head.

How we work with partners

AV1 was developed as a part of intensive pilot studies and collaborations with the target group and partners.

In 2017, the Swedish children’s cancer society, Barncancerfonden,started a pilot with 6 AV1s. Now, more than 50 children have received AV1 from Barncancerfonden.

How we work with organisations

Do you represent an organisation working with children and young adults with long-term illness? If your organisation needs multiple AV1s in circulation, we have a scalable and manageable system to organise the use. We can give you advice on how best implement the use of AV1 suited to your needs. If you or your company want to donate AV1s, we can help you find the right channels to reach the children in need of one.

AV1 App

The AV1 app

The AV1 app lets the user connect to his or her AV1, and see and hear what the robot does. You control the robot's movements through your phone or tablet, and speak to your classmates through the microphone on your device. The AV1 app is the app that allows children and young adults with long-term illness be in their hospital bed and in the classroom at the same time.

Privacy

An unlimited number of family members can be invited to share moments through an app, giving every generation in the family the possibility to participate.

AV1 Assistant app

The AV1 Assistant app

The AV1 Assistant app is a resource for teachers, IT-staff, parents or guardians who administer one or several AV1 robots for their own child, or for children who use the robot at their school.

Through the Assistant app, they can easily check the robot's status, manage WiFi networks, access troubleshooting, look up resources and chat with customer support. The Assistant App is downloaded to the assistant’s own phone or tablet.
